[CIVIL WAR] [CONFEDERATE IMPRINT] ARTICLES OF WAR: AN ACT FOR ESTABLISHING RULES AND ARTICLES FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES

Syme & Hall, printers to the Convention: [Raleigh, N.C.], 1861. Octavo; in stitched wrappers; 24 pages; with foxing throughout but overall in quite nice condition; these articles were ratified in June, 1861. It should be noted that this is not technically a printing of the Confederate States of America’s War Department [contra Crandall] but is actually a publication of the North Carolina State Convention.~~ ~NB.: “all officers who shall behave indecently or irreverently at any place of divine worship shall, if commissioned officers, be brought before a general court martial ...” Take heed of this, and much more!~~Uncommon in commerce and institutional holdings as well. (Crandall, 1212; P&W 2216).
